I used to work at a small Thai restraint. Much of the secret recipes were all on a sheet where "a cup" didn't mean a full 240ml vessel, but actually the entire capacity of "some cup" in the back of the kitchen. The kicker was that the cup in question was actually a measuring cup sized to hold over a quart! So in reality, the liquid measurements in the recipes were actually double what a layperson would interpret them to be. Now I wonder, was that intentional security through obscurity?
